Honey will probably never be
called the cheapest item in the grocery store but it’s hardly the most
expensive, either. In one department store, however, one may be surprised to
find out just how expensive a jar of honey is. It may also come as a surprise to
know which department this honey is sold in.

The London department store Harrods sells the most
expensive honey in their pharmacy. This particular brand is called Life Mel
Honey and is sold as a nutritional supplement. One of the things that make this
honey so pricey is that it is made from honey that bees in Israel produce. These
honey bees are on a special diet of Echinacea, Siberian Ginseng, and Uncaria
Tomentosa, so they can produce this very special honey.

For maximum nutritional benefit, the honey has to
be taken a certain way. This includes a small teaspoon of the honey to be sipped
very slowly twice a day. It’s most beneficial if it’s taken once in the morning
and once again at night. Life Mel Honey has also been used for the prevention of
neutropenia, which is a complication of chemotherapy that exposes the patient
more readily to bacterial infection.

Hollywood has gotten a hold of this wonderful
supplement and is used by celebrity types such as Sienna Miller and Kylie
Minogue. The small tub contains 120 grams of honey and is sold for 42 pounds, or
$83 USD. The taste is very comparable to that of Mankusa honey.
